The reaction of commercially available 5-iodouracil with 2 equiv of MeMgCl in the presence of LiCl, followed by the addition of i-PrMgCl center dot LiCl, provides the corresponding trimagnesiated species, which reacts with various electrophiles to give selectively 5-functionalized uracil derivatives. This method was also successfully applied to the functionalization of 6-iodouracils including the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant Emivirine and HEPT precursors.
Grignard and Cerium Reagents of Pyrimidine Derivatives
5-(Pyrimidinyl)magnesium and cerium chlorides were prepared via the halogen-metal exchange of 5-bromopyrimidine with ethylmagnesium chloride and a sequential treatment of butyllithium and cerium(III) chloride, respectively. In a similar way, 5-[2,4-di(tert-butoxy)pyrimidinyl]magnesium and cerium chlorides were prepared from the reaction of 5-bromo-2,4-di(tert-butoxy)-pyrimidine with ethylmagnesium chloride and butylcerium chloride, respectively.
